Kejrival tightens his belt to win majority of parliamentary seats in Delhi

While the Bhartiya Janata Party, Congress and the Bahujan Samaj Party are busy in the five state elections trying hard to score victories slated for next month, the Aam Admi Party in Delhi has also initiated its pre election door to door campaign in various parliamentary constituencies of Delhi, particularly New Delhi, East Delhi and the North Delhi with Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejrival, Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, ministers Gopal Rai and Satyendra Jain meeting electorates and also holding closed door corner meetings.

While the national elections are still 9 months behind and the elections of the national capital tertitory are in 2020 even further behind, the Aam Admi party born out of the movement of crusador against corruption Anna Hazaare, do not want to take any chance as the party is quite weak in terms of budget and money power as compared to mighty BJP , which is in power at the centre as well as in 19 other states of the country.

The Bhartiya Janata Party which considers Delhi as its traditional stronghold is all geared up to take on AAP fully, despite the unambiguous fact that it has been out of power in the capital for the last two decades, first conceding defeat to Congress led by Shiela Dikshit for 15 long years and lateron to AAP in the previous election.

The reason behind the AAM ADMI PARTY’S hectic preparatory door to door campaign in Delhi so early is primarily because the organisational structure of the former is too disorganised and non professional as majority of its office bearers and lawmakers are inexperienced having won for the first time. Moreover, there have never been any attempt by the party chief to reorganise the party at the decentralised block levels as a cohesive organisation, as majority of its functionaries are busy in the governmental affairs.

If one compares the organisational structure of AAP with the well knitted party organisation of Congress and BJP, AAP is far behind except for the fact that it has definitely been successful in regaining the confidence of the lower middle class and the majority of the voters of J. J. Clusters and the un authorised colonies on issues such as water, electricity, health and education, but that’s also needs to be translated into votes during the elections which is a very urgent neccesity of the party. Hence the party chief and the Delhi chief minister is trying to energise the party workers and the leaders to respond to the peoples’ wishes and demands.

Hence the door to door campaign has been activated to reach to the general public as well as to the cross sections of the people. The chief minister has also given a call for collecting subscribtion from the common people at the grassroots as well the low amd medium businessmen to give the impression that AAP is without funds and that it would fight the parliamentary as well as the state elections on the peoples’ money not on the donations from the big business houses as is the case with Congress, BJP, SP or the BSP.

The party is also banking on the traditional minority votes, votes of the Uttarakhandies and Poorvanchalies including that of Punjabies and other sections of the society. In order to appease these sections, the Aam Admi Party government has established language academies of all the sections of the society viz Uttarakhandi, Bengali, Odiya, Bhojpuri etc etc.

Not only this but has also increased funds for Chat Puja, a festival of Bihar and Uttarayini of Uttrakhand. Not only this but the AAP is also raking up the issue of arbitrary price hike in metro fares including that of the diesal n petrol and is assuring the electorates of taking it up with the government to bring them down by hook or by crook.

During the door to door campaign Kejrival was confronted with angly n furious crowd who’d complained about lack of drinking water, cleanliness, electricity problems and the local elected representatives not attending to these problems. The tone and tenor of the electorates was that of a completely dissatisfied voter with Kejrival and health minister Satyendra Jain in a defensive postute.

The biggest loser in Delhi so far has been the Congress party which has despite its best effort not able to restore its minority, J. J. cluster and unauthorised vote bank which has been grabbed by the Aam Aadmi Party since the previous victory.

However, there is no denying the fact that many prominent leaders like Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Ashutosh, Khaitaan, professor Anand Kumar and others have left the party but hardly moved by these developments strong, viable, energetic and fearless Arvind Kejrival is marching ahead with his all powerful juggernaut having pleged to win majority of the Delhi’s parliamentary seats from the BJP.

He has recently tried his best to offer two parliamentary seats of Delhi to popular but controvertial Patna MP and former Bollywood star Shatrughan Sinha and the former union minister Yashwant Sinha though they have still not responded to his offer. Let’s see what comes out of it in the near future?

It may be recalled that AAP has 66 lawmakers in Delhi assembly and three MPs from Delhi in the upper house whereas it represents 4 MPs from Punjab.

However, the crux of the story is this time it would not be convenient for AAP n Arvind Kejrival to clear the decks. He will have to do a lot of hard work n fight against all odds to see of he can really make out ?
